While most so-called "child safety" software programs are sold through stores, ComputerCOP has found its way into homes across the country through law enforcement giveaways. Sheriffs, police chiefs, district attorneys, and other officials have purchased the software in bulk and distributed it to the public as part of their outreach initiatives.

But ComputerCOP may actually may make your family's data less safe. You can read all about that, and some of the misleading ways the product has been marketed, in our in-depth investigative report, available here.

We have identified more than 245 agencies that have distributed ComputerCOP over the last 10 years. The list is based primarily on a map that appears on ComputerCOP's own website, which we attempted to verify one-by-one through news articles, press releases and other online public records. We also added a few that we found that weren't on the map.

In most cases, details were scant online, but whenever possible we include the information about year the software was purchased, how much was spent and how many copies were purchased. Not all versions of ComputerCOP contain the keylogger, but we note whenever we were able to verify for sure that the software contained that feature.

In many cases, ComputerCOP listed agencies on its map that we we were unable to independently verify through online records searches. Those are noted accordingly.

This list will be updated with each new distribution of ComputerCOP we discover.
